Giving Tuesday 2020
In these uncertain times, one thing you can count on is that your Library will be here for you.
Official Board of Trustees Meeting minutes from our Library archives
We’ve seen a pandemic before. In late 1918 when the Spanish Influenza raced through our city, we were here. We closed our doors for one month to help stop the spread of the virus, and then returned to serve and support our neighbors. And more than 100 years later, we’re still here.
We are here for our community.
We are here for our community, and
we are here because of our community.
Did you know that the Torrington Library has been almost entirely funded through the generosity of people like you, for over 150 years? Some have given big, and some have given small, but every gift has made an impact. Those gifts are why we are here.
Over the next week, you'll want to check out our social media pages! We'll be sharing stories and anecdotes from community members, neighbors, and friends highlighting how the Library has supported them during this challenging time. And we will continue to do everything we can for our city - but we can't do it without your support.
Whether it’s 1918 or 2020, another thing you can count on is that your Library needs YOU!
Tuesday, December 1st is Giving Tuesday, the international day of philanthropy. On this day, people who want to make a difference - people like you - join together to support charities all over the world. And on this day, we’ll be humbly asking for your financial support. We are thrilled to announce that all donations received between now and the end of the day on Giving Tuesday will be matched by an anonymous Angel Donor, up to $10,000.* This is the largest matching funds offer we’ve had in our 156 year history! Will you help us take advantage of this unprecedented opportunity?

And if you can't give financially, we understand! We know these are difficult times for many in our community, and our hearts are with you this holiday season. Here's some good news: sharing our Giving Tuesday campaign with your friends, on social media or in person, is a huge help to us - and it doesn't cost you anything! Your voice is valuable, and we can't thank you enough for spreading the word about our mission and this important opportunity.
Can we count on you?
Thank you, dear friends. Stay healthy and stay safe. We're here for you, and with your support, we'll be here for another 150 years!
With heads up and eyes toward the future,
Your friends at the Torrington Library
